Hi Reader, Happy Labor Day weekend! If you're at the US Open, I hope you're enjoying those Honey Deuces (which btw generate $10mm in sales). A friend with a great finance job recently told me: “I’m the type of tired that a vacation doesn’t fix.” He'd gotten to the point in his career where he had a reasonable boss, a team that delivered and could sleep 7 hours a night. But it wasn't that kind of tired. "My soul is tired." I know there are a lot of tired souls reading this. Maybe it's the lack...

Hi Reader, I can't believe the kiddos start school this week. But let's be honest, a little structure probably ain't a bad thing. Speaking of fatherhood, I often wonder if I'd be a better parent if I was less ambitious. Hear me out, I know my drive has created a wonderful life for my family. But I can easily tip into the land of unhinged ambition - and then become distracted and disconnected. My friend Jeff Hittner (who wrote this week's essay) is organizing a free workshop for Ambitious Dads...

Hi Reader, I've been absolutely loving these olympics. Chef Curry against Serbia. Gabby Thomas (even though she went to Harvard). "Raygun" the break dancer. Oh and the infamous "pole" vaulter. BTW, are you an ambitious dad who wonders if you're doing this whole "fatherhood" thing right? If you're struggling to be present, patient and intentional as a father we have a free workshop for you on August 21st.

Hi Reader, Happy August! I gotta say the Olympics have been awesome - pommel horse guy, the pistol shooters and ofc Snoop Dogg yucking up at all the main events. If there was a productivity olympiad, you'd definitely want to be using our $10K Work framework for maximum leverage and deconstructing the "why" behind your goals. Supercharge Your Productivity is the only course that connects the pursuit of productivity to life's larger questions. Get Supercharge your Productivity → The "messy...

Hi Reader, I’m in NYC this week to see family, friends, clients (and a Justice concert). And the weather's been delightful. We're rounding up our last group coaching cohort of 2024. If you're a high-earner who's looking to make a bold pivot (but scared to take the leap), this 5 person group is for you. We've had folks take sabbaticals, go hard on a side-project and confidently walk away from unvested stock. What did these professionals all have in common? A commitment to no longer living the...
